It is a blessing to have been a guest of such a wonderful property, which is rare in the SF Bay Area. The house is extremely spacious with tons of sunlight. The view of Mt. Tam is spectacular and the hot tub is a nice touch! The location is also fantastic, as it is close to Highway 101, Mill Valley, and just under 30 mins. to northern SF locations. The owner is extremely friendly and communicative, and our weekend here was probably one of the best VRBO experience we've had. ##### Michael T.

The convenience of the location was the best, and we felt as if we had been swept away to a destination thousands of miles away. Only regret was not utilizing the indoor as much as the outdoor. With a beautiful summer season we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful living rooms which are not to be missed again. I guess we will need to come back in the winter! Thank you for building an exceptional property where clearly no detail was spared! ##### Jessica S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiffany B. May 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful and Well Appointed Property Property was just as described both in text and photos. Plenty of beds and space for our group of 8. Well maintained and they've thought of everything. With 3 chefs in our group the kitchen did not disappoint with everything from knives, pans, cutting boards, and small appliances to top of line refrigerator, stove/oven and dishwasher. Family meals are easy to prepare with plenty of room for all to gather round to eat. The owner was super responsive and kind with a few of our needs. Easy on/off to freeway so traveling north/ south is a breeze. Highly recommend this Property. If there were any recommendation for improvement I could make, and it is truly the only one I can think of, would suggest a rug or other soft furnishing in dining area to help muffle the sound a bit as the openness of the kitchen/ dining area with the beautiful large windows can be quite loud with a group of folks in there. There's a bedroom nearby and if that person wants to sleep while others awake, it does prove challenging. But that is the only suggestion I have to share. Truly a lovely property with very gracious hosts. ##### Tiffany B. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorenzen L. Oct 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious Retreat in Mill Valley/Napa Our stay was fantastic! The property is incredibly large and spacious, providing more than enough room for our group to spread out and feel comfortable. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcome gift of croissants and muffins, and thoughtful touches like slippers for all guests at the front door. The home itself was clean and polished, making us feel right at home. I did have a concern and an issue on our last night, but Wende was impressively prompt in resolving everything, which we greatly appreciated. One minor area for improvement: when booking the property in advance, I reached out through the booking platform to inform the owner about our group and ask for local chef recommendations. Unfortunately, I never received a response to my initial inquiry, which would have been helpful. However, the on-property management during our stay was excellent as stated prior. The location was perfect for our weekend getaway to Napa, offering both convenience and a peaceful retreat after our daily excursions. Our group, with friends from the UK, Japan, Tennessee, and California, thoroughly enjoyed our time at the property. One of our friends did suggest adding a television in each bedroom, as they were feeling under the weather and would have preferred to relax in their room rather than convene in the main living space. Overall, our experience was excellent, and we would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable, well-appointed, and conveniently located home. ##### Lorenzen L.

The first thing that struck me was the impeccable cleanliness and attention to detail throughout the entire property. The house was not only well-maintained but also impeccably decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It was evident that the owners took great pride in ensuring their guests have a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The amenities provided were nothing short of exceptional. The kitchen was fully equipped with high-quality appliances and utensils, making it a joy to prepare meals. The bedrooms were elegantly decorated, cozy and provided a peaceful retreat after a full day of activities. The attention to comfort extended to the living spaces, with plush furniture and thoughtful touches that added to the overall sense of luxury. One of the standout features of the rental was the indoor/outdoor space which was well-manicured and patio area provided a serene setting to relax and unwind. Furthermore, the communication and service from the property management team were outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend this rental to anyone seeking a luxurious and comfortable home away from home. I look forward to returning in the future!! ##### Toi E.

Bedrooms are of good size and well separated for privacy. The kitchen is magnificent and very well stocked with dishes, appliances, and even some staples. Large sliding glass windows can be opened to expand indoor living to the picturesque back yard. A fire pit, built-in grill, outdoor table with large canopy, hot tub, artificial turf yard, outdoor shower, and cornhole game equipment encourage outdoor leisure. The location is superb and the area is more compact than I imagined. We had easy access via car or Uber/Lyft to Sausalito, Mill Valley, and other nearby towns. Grocery stores and other retail are nearby. The Muir Woods is a short drive away and a must-see. Other highlights were the ferry ride from Sausalito to Fisherman's Wharf in SF and a drive north on Highway 1 to Stinson Beach and to Tomales Bay for oysters. We even saw whales breaching off the beach! The whole area is spectacularly beautiful. The very best thing about this house is the owners. Their care and attention to detail were obvious to me from the first minute inside. As an example, we had a smoke alarm start chirping due to a dead battery early on Saturday morning. We had no way to change it so I texted Wende. She had a maintenance crew there within the hour to replace it. Our other correspondence. was quick and very helpful. I highly recommend this house. ##### James R.
